Tie IRISH PATRIOTS.
Portraits and Sketcliess of Four Nation

Portraits and Sketchesr of Four National
Leaguers Now in America.
Arthur O'Connor, one of the Irish pa
triots now in America, may be regarded
rs Mr.. Parncll's special envoy to the
United States; he is the intensely practi-
cal man of the Irish league. Born in 1914,
in London, while his parents, Kerry reo-
pic, were temporarily there. he is falnil-
lar with both islands, and an Carnes
and able worker for home rule. He is I'M
usually well informed in matters Of public
administration, having spent sixteen years
rs a clerk in the war Office. He is Of ne
dium height, spare in person and re-
markedly fair; his manner is grave, his
address calm and his success in parlia-
ment is due, not to oratory, but to perfect
mastery of the subject and power to put
keen, incisive questions.
Sir Thomas Henry Grattan Esmonle,
also now in America, belongs to the mid
die class aristocracy of Ireland, owning an
estate of some value, with rental barely
sufficient when his tenants can pay it, to
sustain the position of modest gentle
man. His father, Sir John Esmonde, was
member of parliament for Waterford for
twenty-five years; his mother was a
daughter Of Henry Grattan and grand
utuSHttI VI tHc Hottu IIlSu ullu
statesman, the Henry Grattan of 1115-15.
The young man was born Sept. 81, 1852,
and from his earliest years has been n
thorough Irish patriot.
Edmund Dwyer Gray, the third of the
trio, is but Al years old, yet he has been
an active worker fer twCnty-one years
and an Irish leader most of the time His
father, DR.. John Gray, was for over forty
years the editor of The Freeman's Journal,
of Dublin; he was the personal friend and
ardent co-workcr CT Daniel O'Oonncll. the
supporter of the tenant league movement
Of lS1l-5, and the prime mover in the
reform of the Dublin municipal govern
ment, for which last work he was knightcd
by the queen. When he died in 1874 the
son stepped ut once into his place on Tie
Freemun's Journal and succeeded to lis
leadership. After being mayor of Dublin
he entered parliament in 1915 as member
for Tipperary.
Michael Davitt, also now in America, Is
already well known to Americans. lie
was born in 1916, in County Mayo, and lis
father, small farmer, was evicted by the
landlord when Michael was but 4 years
old. His early years were spent in toll

The Next of Kin" business.

''IIow very rarely we hear Of new
fraud" was the observation which gem
tleman made recently. 1T is always the
old thing dished up little differently
The frauds are daily exposed, and yet con-
tiIuc to succeed. Why. look at the next
OF kin business. 1t has been exposed q
thousand times, and yet the dupes are as
plentiful as Cranberries in a Jersey marsh.
1t was punctured as early rs 1860 by Mr..
Dallas, when he was our minister ut the
british court There's n family in this
city and their connections throughout the
country who are gladly paying up their
assessments toward the recovery of
fabulous fortune. Their Glib attorney
will enjoy one or two pleasant trips to
Europe at their expense, and that will lie
the end of 1t. It's an old fraud, but it
seems 10 flourish like green bay tree"

formally presented yet, but there is no
question that it will be. The name
of the man who proposes to try and
wrest the Americas cup away from
America is Mr.. Charles Sweet, a young
marine lawyer, of New York and London.
He is Scotchman, born at Ayr, and is a
thorough yuchtsman. He is n member of
the New York Yacht club, but in view of
the challenge he will present he has re-
signed his membership. 1t is not neces-
sary for him to do this, but he thinks that
under the circumstances it will be the
proper thing for him to do. He is also a
member of the Royal Clyde Yacht club
and the Royal Thames Yacht club. The
challenge will probably come through the
latter club.
1t is understood that the designer Of the
new boat which Mr.. Sweet is to have
built will be Mr.. G. L. Watson, who de-
signed the Thistle. Mr.. Sweet said in a
recent interview that he thought the
Thistle could be improved on in many
ways He is in some doubt as to whether
the new boat will be Of steel or wood, as
there are advantages about each material
not possessed by the other. She will, of
course, be keel boat, and will probably
he Of the second class, to rank with the
Titania and the Shamrock. Mr. Sweet is
of the opinion that it will be very hard to
build a keel boat of the same size as
the Volunteer to outsail Ter in windward
work The young lawyer is the owner of
that fast little craft the Clara, which Capt
Barr sailed over the finishing line first on
several occasions Capt. Barr will prob
ably command the new boat.
There has also been some talk about a
challenge from Mr.. William Muir, of
Dumbarton, Scotland, the owner of the
Mable. 1t is not improbable that he also
will challenge for the cup, but Mr.. Sweets
boat will probably have the preference,
but it may happen that the two boats will
race against each other for the honor of
challenging for the cup.

and poverty, but he has developed fror,
them Il strong character. His father cmi-
grated 10 America and died in Pcnnsyl-
vania: but Michael remained TO take Fart
in the Fcllian movement, for which he
suffered nine years Imprisonment On
the Goth Of April, 1879. lie began the
organization of the Land League in tie
neighborhood where he was born. lie
comes for rest, while the other three pro-
pose an active campaign. A reception
and banquet will he given by TIE league
OF New York as soon as these gentlemen
arrive, and the three first named will enter
at once upon campaign to enlighten pub
lie opinion on Irish matters.

among yachtSmen as the relative merits
of the Thistle and Volunteer before the
wind. So far as windward work is con-
cerned every one OF course, admits the
superiority of the Volunteer; but in the
two races for the Americas cup it was
difficult to compare the sailing of the two
yachts before the wind The first half of
the course was n beat to windwartl, and
the Volunteer got SO far ahead of the
Thistle when the stake boat was turned
that the sailing conditions Of the two
boats were entirely different. For in
stance, in the second race the Volunteer
rounded the stake boat seventeen minutes
ahead of the Thistle but Mt the finish she
was but twelve minutes ahead. 1t would
thus appear that on the return the Thistle
gained five minutes on the Volunteer, but
Capt. Half declares that as matter Of
fact the distance between the two
boats at the finish was just as great as at
the turning point. The difference In time,
he says, was due entirely to the increase
in the wind. The wind which was blow
ing five or six miles faster at the finish
than it was ut the turning point, of course,
enabled the Thistle to cover the distance
quicker than ii the wind had not freshened
Another reason, he says, is that the
Thistle had the benefit of the increasing
velocity Of the wind, she being two miles
astern and Of course felt it first.
Mr.. Burgess, when he heard what
Capt. Half said, thought there might be
some truth in it, but he was not prepared
to state positively that he considered the
Volunteer the faster boat before the wind.
Everybody is hoping now that there will
be race between the Thistle and either
the Mayflower, Puritan, Atlantic or
Priscilla.
The excited crowds that gathered in
front of the bulletin boards in New York,
as illustrated in the cut that accom-
panies this article, showed that the il
terest in yachting is increasing every

1t is human nature to go with
the crowd, and as rule there is
philosophy in SO doing, for in the
lead there are generally wide-awake
persons who have viewed the
ground and know the advantages
to be had. This is the reason that
such numbers of people trade with
B. Turner, Pineville. His goods
have been tried and found to be
as represented, and upon COM
parison his prices are always found
to be as low as the lowest He
keeps everything the farmer needs,
and his customers are treated with
the utmost courtesy. Having late
ly added to his immense stock q
full line of all kinds of dry goods,
clothing, boots and shoes, hardware,
furniture, groceries, notions, ETC.,
etc., he has inserted a big adver-
tisement in the CHRONICLE, and
asks US to assure his friends in
Grant parish that he can supply
their wants at even more reasona-
BILE figures than he has been noted
for heretofore.

A correspondent signing himself
lizard Times" sends us word from
the Big Bear creek region that the
people out there have made plenty
of corn, peas, potatoes, rice, cotton
and sugar cane. He says there
has been some sickness out that
way, but it has not prevented the
political fever also appearing
among the denizens. He then
goes on to name three gentlemen
whom he thinks popular in his
section, for reason that they are
not hunting for Office! But, for
the very reason that we know all
three of them to be seeking Office,
we decline to publish their names,
and thus give them a gratuitous
puff for the positions they want.
Another reason for not publishing
the communication is that the
writer violates one of our rules in
failing to send along his real name
as a guarantee of good faith.
